WARNING: Important Safety Warnings and Instructions

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE UNIT.

WARNING: Some cleaning products contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. When using the scrubber, be sure to read cleaning product labels for any Proposition 65 warnings.

Follow directions on containers of all such products.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

Remove the battery holder by pulling the ring as shown in Figure 1. Insert four fresh alkaline AA batteries making sure to match (+) and (-) terminals correctly and reinstall the battery holder. The battery holder assembly will only fit back into the tool one way. If it does not seem to fit properly, don’t force it. Rotate it one half way around and try it again. Ensure that the battery holder is inserted all the way.

WARNING: Batteries can explode, or leak, and can cause injury or fire. To reduce this risk:

•Carefully follow all instructions and warnings on the battery label and package.

•Always insert batteries correctly with regard to polarity (+ and -), marked on the battery and the equipment.

•Do not short battery terminals.

•Do not charge batteries.

•Do not mix old and new batteries. Replace all of them at the same time with new batteries of the same brand and type.

•Remove dead batteries immediately and dispose of per local codes.

•Do not dispose of batteries in fire.

•Keep batteries out of reach of children.

•Remove batteries if the device will not be used for several months.

•Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e. packed in suitcases and carryon luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSHow to Operate Switch

1.To operate, push the Switch in to turn on. Press the Switch in again to turn off. To avoid splatter from a Brush or Pad, turn the scrubber off while the attachment is still in contact with the surface.

2.Because this scrubber is powerful, you don’t have to apply excessive pressure while operating. Use a circular motion on large areas.

Important: If some water leaks into the unit, it will not affect performance. However, should the unit accidentally fall into water without the battery cap in place, shake out loose liquid and allow to air dry overnight.

Attaching Accessories

Do not attach/remove accessory when unit is running.

1.To connect an attachment, line up the shape of the end of the accessory with the shaft and push it on, (Fig. 2) until it snaps in place.

2.To remove an attachment, simply pull it off.

How to Use the Scraper Feature

•Turn the unit around (shown in Fig. 4) and scrape back and forth.

Note: Apply the amount of pressure that is appropriate to the surface being cleaned.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

1.Clean the Brushes and Scrub Pads in a mild detergent, rinse with water and air dry. You may rinse any attachments/accessories by dipping the scrubber into a bucket of water no more than 12 inches (30 cm) deep or running under a faucet. Do not leave immersed for more than 5 minutes.

2.To clean the scrubber unit, wipe with a damp sponge and a mild soap.

3.Keep the battery holder and unit clean to assure a good seal.

4.Store the scrubber and attachments/accessories indoors.

Tips on Cleaning Agents

IMPORTANT: The power scrubber has been designed for easy, powerful cleaning. If you are uncertain about its use on a surface, test an attachment on a small inconspicuous area before cleaning larger areas.

•Always follow manufacturer’s recommendations when using a chemical cleaner such as sprays, foams, rub-on gels, liquid detergents, or bleach solutions.

•Do not use with abrasive cleaners on any surface or in the unit.

•Always wear rubber gloves and protective eye wear (to avoid splatter) when using irritating cleaners.
